On exempted development under Planning & Develoment Regulations 2001, how does a Planning Authority decide the line of the rear of a house, in particular where the rear is not a straight line in plan ?

Two specific examples.
A Victorian house with a single storey rear return. Is the rear the back of the double storey part? Or is it the back of the return, therefore meaning any extension in front of this, would be defined as to the side of the house?

For a modern rectangular plan house, with a small additional single storey rectangular block to the side, where the block is an integral part of the house , and not an extension. Is the back of the additional block, defined as the rear or the side?

Thanks
